Had this in the 80s... https://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sold_basses/1981ibanezblazer.htm

Black body, ebony neck, black hardware - brilliant

Respect. Lot of great bass work on his songs.

As Prince would say...."You SexyMFer"

Looks intriguing.

Cracker!

Maybe not a Bentley...but Rust Wraps do exist ...😁

Outstanding Mojo...

Still to do a NBD thread (may never happen1) but I bought a Player MIM Black/Maple P bass. GG had it as a demo at £649, took a punt by trading in my Spector Legend (actually a very versatile and great sounding bass) and a G n L Tribute Tele (regrets already!). But.....I either had to have heroin or a P-bass! Balances well, stays in tune and has the thump and growl that was required for a short gig. Rolled volume off slightly and put tone way down before rolling back to around 15% treble. Was intending using my EHX Big Muff for Uptown Funk but decided against as the bass handled it well. One day I'll do a thread but very pleased with it.

Prince Harry is badass

Tell me about it. Think the original had a programmed e-bass line….

Simple songs leave you no place to hide. Having a verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, bridge, chorus, verse, chorus end can be much easier than something straightforward. recently did “Don’t Get Me Wrong” . Took me to the last rehearsal to nail it. Even then, the “fast G” meant I stared at the guitarist for a cue! Once did a Country n Western set as a favour. Sweating buckets at playing 1/5 all nigh5 and hittin* my mark! Ginal easy song….sing Purple Rain….the gaps for the singer! Ended up counting her in at times.

Is it safe to say Stingrays win Glasto?

Incredible band. Incredible consistency over the decades. Matt Bissonette’s bass work sublime. Fantastic to see Ray Cooper again!

Black, maple…..lovely. Just bought a MIM from GG too….still to do a NB thread as I’m too busy but I’m loving it.

Incredible price! Well done!

I do not believe you have all these basses. Mind you...if we saw photos.... 😇
